While the world protects itself from Corona to avoid infection, Alastair Fraser-Urquhar (18) from Stoke-on-Trent in Great Britain has the virus injected voluntarily. The 18-year-old is part of a study that wants to track how Corona reacts to the body, how it is transmitted and how many viruses it takes for the disease to break out.
Never before has there been such an attempt on humans. A total of 90 people between 18 and 30 years of age are said to be infected with corona in a controlled manner. Subjects are then infected with corona at the Royal Free Hospital in London, either by nasal spray or pipette. The candidates are then placed in a locked compartment for 17 days. This is to prevent other people from getting infected.
When Alastair Fraser-Urquhar found out about the study, he immediately volunteered, out of conviction. “If we had started earlier in the pandemic, we could have distributed vaccines already at Christmas,” the teenager told the British newspaper The Guardian.
Donate compensation to the vaccination organization.
Of course, you are also concerned about the study. But: “I have accepted the risks.” His family is not enthusiastic. But they would understand why he was doing it and would support him.
For their participation in the study, test subjects receive compensation equivalent to 5,600 francs. But that is why Alastair Fraser-Urquhar did not volunteer. You would like to donate the money to the People’s Vaccine Alliance. The organization worked around the world to ensure that vaccines were distributed fairly. Something good that the British would like to support.
The study will begin in a few weeks. Then the 18-year-old becomes infected with Corona. He hopes that researchers will gain important insights to control future pandemics more quickly. (hmh)
